when you ipconfig /release /renew that does not change your public ip that changes your local ip on the network for your computer. its misleading there are videos showing that and i have personally tested that method and it does not work for meAll you need to do is plug in directly to the modem and ipconfig /release and then /renew. Then plug it back into the router and you are done.
No, it does not. If you use the lan and connect DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM, you are changing the modem's IP address. If you stay on wireless or through the router, then yes, you are correct. But the way I've stated it, you are incorrect. I've done it when I was getting DDoS'd and spoke with tech support asking if they could change my IP address and they told me what I posted above.when you ipconfig /release /renew that does not change your public ip that changes your local ip on the network for your computer. its misleading there are videos showing that and i have personally tested that method and it does not work for me
Doesn't that only work if your ISP gives you a dynamic address? Back in the day this never worked for myself as my ISP gave us a static IP. Nowadays I can just disconnect for like 10 minutes and it'll give me a new one.All you need to do is plug in directly to the modem and ipconfig /release and then /renew.

You are probably right. I've never had an ISP with a static IP.Doesn't that only work if your ISP gives you a dynamic address? Back in the day this never worked for myself as my ISP gave us a static IP. Nowadays I can just disconnect for like 10 minutes and it'll give me a new one.
